问题    When my son completes a task, I can’t help but praise him. It’s only natural to give praise where praise is due, right? But is there such a thing as too much praise?
   According to psychologist Katherine Phillip, children don’t benefit from【C1】______ praise as much as we’d like to think. "Parents often praise, believing they are building their child’s self-confidence. However, over-praising can have a【C2】______ effect," says Phillip. "When we use the same praise【C3】______ , it may become empty and no longer valued by the child. It can also become an expectation that anything they do must be【C4】______ with praise. This may lead to the child avoiding taking risks due to fear of【C5】______ their parents."
   Does this mean we should do away with all the praise? Phillip says no. "The key to healthy praise is to focus on the process rather than the【C6】______ It is the recognition of a child’s attempt, or the process in which they achieved something, that is essential," she says. "Parents should encourage their child to take the risks needed to learn and grow."
   So how do we break the【C7】______ of praise we’re all so accustomed to? Phillip says it’s important to【C8】______ between "person praise" and "process praise". "Person praise is【C9】______ saying how great someone is. It’s a form of personal approval. Process praise is acknowledgement of the efforts the person has just【C10】______ Children who receive person praise are more likely to feel shame after losing," says Phillip.
   A) choose F) experienced K) repeatedly
   B) constant G) negative L) rewarded
   C) disappointing H) outcome M) separately
   D) distinguish I) pattern N) simply
   E) exhausting J) plural O) undertaken [br] 【C5】

选项

答案 C

解析 [语法判断]空格位于介词of之后,名词词组their parents之前,因此可填入动词的-ing形式。[语义判断]本句指出,这可能会导致孩子因为害怕______父母而避免冒险。由上一句可知,孩子期待做什么事都能得到父母的表扬。如果他们失败了,父母可能会失望,他们可能得不到表扬,所以孩子可能会因害怕让父母失望而避免冒险。因此,本空应填入含有“令……失望”意义的动词,故本题答案为C)disappointing。
